Chapter 890
She hated that she was so desperate to feel loved.
Closing her eyes, Angela took a deep breath and cleared her mind. When she opened her eyes once more, there
were none of the glistening tears or muddled emotions
Upon returning to base, she fell onto her bed and slept. She had woken up at an ungodly hour that morning, and
the arduous hike had left her completely drained.

for emergency treatment.”
The four men working in front of their computers exchanged a worried glance. The accident was not entirely

“But she has the right to know,” Sean pointed out.
